Hedcut portrait of Kathy Wilson

Kathy Wilson is a dedicated advocate for responsible belief systems and a long-time participant in the transhumanist movement. Raised as a Mormon, she identifies as a mystic and appreciates the open-minded, boundary-breaking ethos of transhumanism, particularly within the Mormon Transhumanist Association. She sees the movement as a way to actively engage with and further explore the more unconventional beliefs within Mormonism, such as transfiguration and the Second Coming.

For the past two decades, Wilson has traveled extensively in India, witnessing firsthand the country’s rapid transformation and the complex realities of its growing population. She has spent time in the slums of Delhi and Mumbai, confronting issues of poverty, gender inequality, and corruption. This experience has profoundly impacted her perspective, expanding her understanding of what is possible on planet Earth and reinforcing the interconnectedness of global challenges.

Wilson collaborates with NGOs in Delhi to assist marginalized communities, particularly widows and children in slums. She aims to raise awareness about the problems in developing countries and encourages others to use their technology, education, and resources to support positive change. She believes that the quality of life and interconnectedness of countries means everyone must be aware of problems facing other countries and cultures.

Report on humanitarian work in India

Kathy Wilson reports on her experiences traveling to India over twenty years, describing how the country's explosive population growth—from 800 million to over a billion—has intensified problems of poverty, corruption, and gender inequality while simultaneously expanding her understanding of what is possible on Earth. She shares observations from Delhi slums housing millions of people and discusses her work with NGOs supporting marginalized widows and children. Wilson connects these global humanitarian challenges to transhumanist themes, arguing that as the planet shrinks into a global society, those with technology and education have a responsibility to address problems in developing countries rather than ignore them.

From Mormon to Mystic

Kathy Wilson reflects on her journey from traditional Mormonism toward a broader mystical worldview, arguing that religious belief systems should be capable of expanding alongside scientific discovery. She finds alignment between Mormon doctrines—such as eternal progression, intelligence as "light and truth," and the metaphysical nature of restoration events like angelic visitations—and metaphysical concepts explored by scientists like Amit Goswami and Lynn McTaggart. Wilson praises the Mormon Transhumanist Association for thinking "out of the box" about resurrection, transfiguration, and the possibility of extending human life through technology, seeing these explorations as responsible engagement with Mormonism's more unconventional beliefs rather than passive acceptance of doctrine.
